To learn about Islam, it's evil shari-ah law and the bloodthirsty Qur'an, will only take you ten minutes on an internet search engine. Educate yourself and I guarantee you that you'll be shocked and want to do everything you can to stop this evil spreading even more into your native land.
Was mcarthyism wrong ? Look at how identity politics and cultural Pseudo socialism has destroyed the country today. Social Justice is just socialism with rich and poor classes replaced with identity and oppressed vs the oppressor
I don't usually listen to the drummer, but WHO is HE? Get Down. David - you're still the best. When I saw you perform on TV when I was 12, I saved your songs in my memory. Love yah!
My introduction to Bradbury was The Martian Chronicles. I read it as a young man, and still pick it up and read it today. It is not just about sci-fi--it is a fantasy. Eerie. Funny. Sad. It's got it all. And since it was written as a series of magazine pieces from the late 1940s to the early 50s, it was the basis for most of the sci-fi to come. You can see Bradbury all over Star Trek and The Twilight Zone. People don't realize just how influential Bradbury was, and how so many true-life things derived from his creative mind. I truly wish I could have met him, and am really sorry I didn't see this documentary until today. If I had, my writing would have been very different--and better.
Heard these guys at the Az State Fair. Caught by the horns, and his voice. From the Reservation and never hearing horns I was hooked. Think I was in 3rd or 4th grade. I tell my grandkids, All the great ones have horns! Peace
At 69, I can't hardly listen to the greats without tearing up. Such a wonderful time, the music and freedom we enjoyed. So hard to communicate to the next 2-3 generations what it was like back then.
Saw them in concert in the 70's in Amarillo TX and was shocked sitting in the third row His voice was so powerful I could hear him above the sound system! Awesome concert as a whole 👍
I remember him and BS&T joining Ronnie Hawkins on stage at the Nickelodeon on Yonge street in Toronto almost every weekend back in the early seventies..
My youth in the 60's and 70's was full of science fiction and horror, singing to Alice Cooper at 8 because my older sister was a fan, i love Dr Who and still do, Hammrr House of Horror movies, what an imaginative youth, my art teacher put me off art college telling me that i would just end up s drug addict, i took his wise advice, he knew my personality, lol, i have my own style of abstract art after years of experimentation and am determined to master it before i'm gone, i write this here because many of my friends over the years have said that my work reminds them of Ray's, after watching this i realise we had much in common and makes me more determined.
Bobby Colomby smokes Danny Seraphine like a THanksgiving turkey. Just saying. What a magic pocket thrilled higher with terrific perfectly placed chops.
When I listen to these guys, Chicago, Ray Charles and of course Sinatra's bands, I have to laugh at folks who want to argue that Elvis, Johnny Cash, the Beatles, and many others are the best. When it comes to music, people have a taste for chit.
But then, I like ALL of those. I cherry pick music. All music. It's equally 'chit' I think to dismiss in a wave of the hand all that Elvis, Johnny Cash and The Beatles did. There's much difference, even in the output of those artists. For example, The Beatles were a very different band at the end from the band they were at the start. To me, their output was almost that of three different bands. Finally, if we seek absolute agreement on the merit of giant artists, expect it to be merely frustrated. So enjoy your own taste as I do, there's nothing wrong with having your favourites, I do it all the time, but it's really not a contest, anyone who believes THAT is doomed to failure because all you'll get is people who disagree. But I often feel the way you describe, but in sharing my music with my friends I soon found out agreement on the merit of established music artists' output isn't usually there to be found.
Bobby Colomby's in my other BS&T upload from the time itself. There's so little video of the original BS&T. There's a little footage of them in Monterey Pop and that's all there is.
What a shame that we don't have anyone or any groups making amazing music like this today. (And I don't care what anyone says: I love Chicago, but BS&T was always better. Terry Kath was an awesome singer, but even he couldn't keep up with David Clayton-Thomas vocally.) I pity the young people who will never know what it's like to grow up with killer music that actually means something and doesn't involve "loops," pitch correction, and ripping off grooves from actual musicians.
I saw Mr Clayton-Thomas perform about 15 years ago at The Casino Rama in Orillia Ontario. I'll never forget the night, he is the consummate entertainer.
One of my all-time favorite Rock bands. This group really got me into Jazz. Love me some Blood Sweat and Tears. Good to see that they still sound as excellent as they did in the 60's. Legendary.
I saw him play a county fair around 1975-6 with BST. I played trumpet, so was drawn to this group along with Chicago and TOP. Loved this era of real music....which hardly can be found today.
I'd forgotten about BS&T and Mr. DCT.....their story is incredible and is in a new R&R Documentary called "What the Hell Ever Happened to Blood Sweat and Tears?" I thought that was a great question so I did a couple of searches and wound up here. What a voice and what a story is his, and theirs. I encourage you to learn more...I'm glad i did!
